Even though this video was premiered after the BET Awards, or should we say..."Michael Tribute," (R.I.P. MJ), we still couldn't help but to notice the artistry and creativity of both the video and the track. In the words of Jay-Z..."What More Can I Say?"

What exactly could we say about this guy...hmm, creative, trend setter, family oriented, channels his love for himself through the love he gives to others. For those that did not know, Urban Anatomy was named by Earry...inspired by a dream he actually had; for that we (participators and followers of UA) thank you. Continue allowing your mind to flow through the world of art to express what you do, as usual we will be right beside you. Meanwhile, this is only the beginning: so as you would always say, "Lets Get It In!" Love and Respect the hell out of you! -UA

These are the Raf Simons Show Sandal and I would live inside of these things. Actually Raf Simons deserves allot of praise for the amazing works of art that he creates in every aspect of fashion he touches.

I love you.....You are probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me. You are so beautiful and talented.....and you continue to do something simple that many refuse to do: EVOLVE. If you're not busy being married to Dame, can you do me a favor and be mine? Please and Thanks!

We are on a constant quest to become more educated and cultured individuals. One of the steps of our journey is reading as much as we can.......Nia's topic/inspiration this week: Haile Selassie!

This man inspires me like no other. What good is fashion if you have NO sense? What good is knowledge if you don't KNOW history? What good is finishing the race if you haven't ENDURED a journey? I want my people to be knowledgeable on a plethora of ideas, people, and things. Reading about Selassie has really taught me the importance of understanding OUR people and their needs in terms of prosperity, peace, and rightenous!

Regardless of Billy Holiday's controversial background, I believe it's still safe to say that she had this class about her which enhanced her beauty. This immaculate artist played a huge role in influencing this look we executed; Hence the black blouse accessorized with white pearls. The grey bow tie skirt was a plus, spiced with laced stockings. Classic!

"Come fly with me, lets fly lets fly away If you can use, some exotic booze There’s a bar in far Bombay..."-Frank Sinatra

And fly we shall; Frank Sinatra, always known to wear a nice suit complimented with a fedora hat; Definitely the influence for this style; Accessorized with a grey leather bag, which in my opinion added a little more life to the attire. Men’s bags are masculine, attractive and ideal additions to any contemporary wardrobe. The black rose was a significant accessory signifying farewell...but not to the style of course, May the Style live on!

I know a lot of women now are following the "trend" of natural hair......and let me just say......I hope you follow until FOREVER!!!! Natural hair is beautiful, strong, complimentary, versatile, and totally wicked. So if you are considering growing out your hair naturally....please do so! Plus, dope guys dig chicks with DOPE, natural hair.

So Nike released two very interesting sneakers: The Air Yeezy and the RT1; both of these are called lifestyle sneakers. In my opinion neither of them are unique, but the Yeezys cost $130 more bucks than the RT1's. Plus they released like 1,000 pair of each colorway world wide. There are actually people sleeping outside for kicks that have been designed by someone who has no design experience. It's kinda sad because in reality there are some legitimate shoe designers that will never triumph Kanye's design success.

There are 17 year old kids that have inspiring talent in comparison to not only Kanye's releases but the recent releases of the sneaker industry. So the purpose of this post is to offer advice! Please research and find diamonds in the rough. Don't go for commercialism and Don't fall for the hype!

This book is a complete catalogue of Ford's design work for both Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent from 1994 to 2004. It chronicles not only Ford's clothing and accessories designs for both houses, but also explores Ford's grand vision for the complete design of a brand, including architecture, store design, and advertising.

Changing of the Guards

The creators describe the book as being “a 128 page leather-bound visual collection of photography, art, design and history that have created and inspired the Brooklyn Circus Journey.” This Brooklyn Circus Coffee table book is more than literature on couture, but also vivid images on different styles.

Question! What has six legs, three bow ties and can fly? The Bow Tied Brothers of Urban Anatomy! We at Urban Anatomy love to marry the traditional with the innovative. Each one of these style concepts unveil the beauty in one of our favorite accessories, The Bow Tie!Enjoy!"UA" All Day!

Earry is wearing a wonderful combination of the 50's and the early 90's era. Starting with the concrete paper boy hat and ending with the high top Nike Air Revolutions. The contrast of color in the grey, black and salmon hues lead the eyes to his build as the salmon button-up compliments his skin tone perfectly.

Ken is wearing a short sleeve safari button up with (of course) a cherry red bow tie. With Levi denim and the "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" SB Nike Dunks (insanity!) This color selection is very mellow but eye catching, which allows is kicks to stand out and provide persona of an effortless masterpiece.

JT is killing em' with a battle of the denim in the contrasting washes in his Levi Trucker Jacket and Gap Indigo jeans. His style concept is complimented with a vintage MAGNITUDE hat, (obviously) electric red bow tie and the Olympic Edition Adidas Conductors.

We at Urban Anatomy believe that we can't move forward without respecting the past. In our mission to give back to community, we want to pay homeage to a creator that will FOREVER have a special place in our hearts.

His name is Jay Dilla (J Dilla)....if you don't know him....Please be prepared to be slapped in ears!!!

Directly to the right, I have posted his newest album released June 2, 2009...Jay Stay Paid!

Here at the Columbian Jungle, we love retro and these are a true definition of the old mixed with the new. Common Wealth comes hard with this modern designed Reebok Pump. They'll be released in august and will be retailed at $125.00.

These are definitely designed with quality and innovation in mind. These are definitely for the exclusive sneaker lover. Vael is pretty consistent and it good to see them improving on their already potent product.
